Hello, about a year ago I went into a surgeon's office seeking XL implants. He told me I would have to get a lift first and the largest he could go would be 650cc on a first augmentation. Fair enough so I did it. However, now I'm ready to go bigger and don't feel like spending a week in California, Nevada, or Florida since it will cost me an extra $5-10k easily for a comfortable hotel, airfare, and transportation. So, does anyone in WA do XL augmentations? I cannot find anyone who advertises it.

Answer: Wanting the biggest augmentation is possible but it requires your acknowledgement of the problems that will happen down the road and the acceptance of needing more surgery to correct the problems, with the potential that some problems may not be fixable. A lot of surgeons will dissuade patients from going large because they don't want to be associated with the outcome and they believe the know what is best for the patient. I personally don't judge like that but will make sure my patients understand the risks of going XL before proceeding as I don't want to have to deal with the 'I didn't know' questions.

Answer: Very large or XL augmentations Yes, I think there are several of us that offer very large implants in the Seattle area, while it's not specifically advertised. I base implant choice on patient goals, the dimensions of their body, and the look they are going for. For those that I think 'xl' implants will fit them and meet their goals, I can offer it. I always warn patients that very, very large implants are heavy, and can stretch and thin out their breast tissue over time, and this can affect the long term result.
